Since We Are Men, We Will Play

Our Dangers, As It Seems To Me, Are Not From The Outrageous But From The Conforming; Not From Those Who Rarely And Under The Lurid Glare Of Obloquy Upset Our Moral Complaisance, Or Shock Us With Unaccustomed Conduct, But From Those, The Mass Of Us, Who Take Their Virtues And Their Tastes, Like Their Shirts And Their Furniture, From The Limited Patterns Which The Market Offers.

We May Win When We Lose, If We Have Done What We Can; For By So Doing We Have Made Real At Least Some Part Of That Finished Product In Whose Fabrication We Are Most Concerned: Ourselves.

Liberty Lies In The Hearts Of Men And Women; When It Dies There, No Constitution, No Law, No Court Can Save It ... The Spirit Of Liberty Is The Spirit Which Is Not Too Sure That It Is Right; The Spirit Of Liberty Is The Spirit Which Seeks To Understand The Minds Of Other Men And Women; The Spirit Of Liberty Is The Spirit Which Weighs Their Interests Alongside Its Own Without Bias.

When I Say That A Thing Is True, I Mean That I Cannot Help Believing It... But...i Do Not Venture To Assume That My Inabilities In The Way Of Thought Are Inabilities Of The Universe. I Therefore Define Truth As The System Of My Limitations, And Leave Absolute Truth For Those Who Are Better Equipped.

All Discussion, All Debate, All Dissidence Tends To Question And In Consequence, To Upset Existing Convictions; That Is Precisely Its Purpose And Its Justification.
